Motoko Rich Traveling with Pope Leo XIV

Pope Leo XIV told reporters Monday morning that he was unafraid of the Trump administration, hours after President Trump lashed out at the pontiff on social media. Leo, speaking to reporters on a flight to Algeria, said: “I have no fear neither of the Trump administration, nor of speaking out loudly about the message of the Gospel.” Asked directly about Trump’s comments on Truth Social, Leo said: “It’s ironic — the name of the site itself. Say no more.”

1. I love this pope

Tells it like it is and pulls no punches.

2. Every accusation is a confession.

“The Pope is weak on crime”

3. Yes Donald. We know you are.

4. Just wondering.

Could Dump's obvious hate of the Pope stem from the Pope being from Chicago, which is a city in Illinois, whose Governor is Pritzker?

5. it's not just the pope.

...they're attacking Catholicism.

Hegseth Holds Protestant-Only Religious Service at Pentagon

According to a Friday report from HuffPost, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon held a Protestant-only Good Friday service at its in-house chapel, with no Catholic Mass scheduled for one of Christianity’s holiest days.

The setup, which excludes a Catholic service for the first time, drew frustration from at least one Pentagon employee after an internal email made the arrangement explicit.

“Just a friendly reminder: There will be a Protestant Service (No Catholic Mass) for Good Friday today at the Pentagon Chapel,” read a Friday email sent by Air Force leadership, according to a copy shared with HuffPost’s Jennifer Bendery.

“I guess so the Catholics know their kind ain’t welcome,” one employee said anonymously to HuffPost in response to the message. “It’s so ridiculous.”

..the Klan started that shit against Catholic immigrants, until they realized they could use their white votes and began focusing on Mexicans, instead, along with their support for prohibition.

To me, it looks like a revival of that nonsense, in keeping with with the rest of their daddies' hate criming.

6. Oh my!

Not being religious, I had no idea.
Thanks for the eye-opener.
